I made each of these pairs of shoes from a free pattern from another generous blogger.
Kimono Shoes (fabric from JoAnn, buttons from my stash)
Faux Robeez (leather from Brettuns Village, leather dye from Angelus, lining bleached muslin, buttons from my stash)
Mila Shoes (lace from Walmart, lining bleached muslin, fold over elastic from my stash)
(though if I had it to do over again, I'd use black for the inner most lining so the stitches wouldn't show. Live and learn.)
